A friend has purchased a new Notebook computer. She has asked me to
install the correct printer drivers.
The operating system on her previous computer was Windows XP. The
operating system on my friend's new computer is Vista Home Premium - but
she does not know whether she has a 64-bit or a 32-bit processor.
Lexmark have published drivers for Vista_x64 and Vista_x86. The x64
version is cjs2300EN.exe (61.0 Mb). The x86 version is cjr2300EN.exe
(43.4 Mb).
Until I see the computer, I won't know which driver I should install.
Consequently, I have downloaded both drivers.
I shall need to find out whether my friend has a 32-bit or 64-bit
version of the Vista operating system. I shall be grateful if someone
could tell me the easiest way to identify the operating system.
I intend to create a restore point, before I install the printer
drivers. Is the procedure for creating a restore point in Vista the
same as for Windows XP?
Also, should I connect and switch on the printer, BEFORE I install the
drivers - or should I run the exe files first?
Many thanks.
